Six charged over Coonamble brawl

Six people have been charged following an investigation into a street brawl in Coonamble last week.

 

Video of the fight, where more than a dozen people were present on Greene Avenue, spread via messaging apps throughout the town in the afternoon on Tuesday 11 June.

 

Footage shows participants on the roadways and footpaths taking swipes at each other and being followed by noisy onlookers.



 Officers were called to the street around 4:40pm that afternoon, although the group had already dispersed.

 

"Following inquiries, between 2.30pm and 5.10pm yesterday (Thursday 20 June 2024), police attended homes on Hermann and Ross Street, Coonamble, and arrested three men and another three men attended the police station," a police spokesperson said.


It comes after police arrested three women over a separate brawl on 9 June in Coonamble, which left three officers with minor injuries.

 

The two men arrested on Hermann Street yesterday were aged 32 and 20. The man arrested on Ross Street was 21. All three were taken to Coonamble Police Station and charged with affray.

The three who attended Coonamble Police Station, aged 24, 30 and 31, were arrested and all charged with affray.
